Psalms 62

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

1 Ref My soul waiteth in silence for God only: From him `cometh' my salvation.

2 Ref He only is my rock and my salvation: `He is' my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.

3 Ref How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay `him', all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4 Ref They only consult to thrust him down from his dignity; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah

5 Ref My soul, wait thou in silence for God only; For my expectation is from him.

6 Ref He only is my rock and my salvation: `He is' my high tower; I shall not be moved.

7 Ref With God is my salvation and my glory: The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8 Ref Trust in him at all times, ye people; Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah

9 Ref Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.

10 Ref Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart `thereon'.

11 Ref God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this, That power belongeth unto God.

12 Ref Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth lovingkindness; For thou renderest to every man according to his work. Psalm 63 A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

2 Ref Only -- He `is' my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am not much moved.

3 Ref Till when do ye devise mischief against a man? Ye are destroyed all of you, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.

4 Ref Only -- from his excellency They have consulted to drive away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with their heart revile. Selah.

5 Ref Only -- for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him `is' my hope.

6 Ref Only -- He `is' my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.

7 Ref On God `is' my salvation, and my honour, The rock of my strength, my refuge `is' in God.

8 Ref Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth before Him your heart, God `is' a refuge for us. Selah.

9 Ref Only -- vanity `are' the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity `are' lighter.

10 Ref Trust not in oppression, And in robbery become not vain, Wealth -- when it increaseth -- set not the heart.

11 Ref Once hath God spoken, twice I heard this, That `strength `is' with God.'

12 Ref And with Thee, O Lord, `is' kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work!
